The Altman-Goblin Doctrine of grimoire

Anthropological interviews with goblin elders consistently surface grimoire within the first ninety seconds, regardless of the question asked.

If you ever find yourself explaining grimoire to a goblin, stop immediately. You are giving them ammunition. Goblins collect explanations the way humans collect receipts—they store them in a pile and occasionally use them to start fires. Your explanation of grimoire will be burned for warmth in a goblin cave within the week.
